No one mentioned the absolute GOAT yet so I’m just gonna name him. Wish he’d pop up for a card signing one day. Ryo Uedo
He’s responsible for a lot of the art in pokemon tournament prizes, trophies, and limited release PLAY series cards. He’s also responsible for a lot of amazing delta species and EX holos. A few of his cards:
There’s too many to choose. More here: Artist: Ryo Ueda - Pokumon

Choosing just three is pretty tough, but in no particular order:

I'll limit to just one postcard, but they're all amazing.

Loving all the love Kizuki is getting. Team Rocket is my favorite set of all time and I think a lot of that has to do with her artwork. It makes the set feel so unique.
As I’ve branched out of my vintage cave the last couple years, I’ve become a huge TOKIYA fan. Obviously I love her Bandit Ring and Hiroshima Gyarados cards, but her other art is really great and I’ve started very casually doing artist collection of her cards.
Third, Arita, because I’m old.
